BMW R1200 GS Recall

2006 BMW R1200 GS Recall
2007 BMW R1200 GS Recall
2008 BMW R1200 GS Recall

BMW is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 R1200 GS motorcycles manufactured between August 2006 and January 2008.

The sealing of the fuel pump control unit housing might be insufficient and water could intrude into the control unit housing creating a humid atmosphere. Under such conditions, the fuel pump could corrode and then fail. Failure of the fuel pump will cause inadequate fuel to reach the engine and cause the engine to stop running. A loss of engine power without warning could increase the risk of a crash.

The manufacturer has not yet provided federal safety investigators with a remedy or notification schedule.
